Top things to consider before DevOps implementation


As a representative of a more collaborative method of software development, DevOps service underscores the mutual dependence of software development and the operational aspects of a project along with its quality assurance. As you come to know about DevOps, there can be several questions that come to your mind. Does your organization need DevOps? If yes, why? In what all ways will it help improve your business processes? Once you’re convinced to implement it to your business, you’ll want to know what structural changes will you need to make to your organization. What place to assign to the DevOps teams in your organizational structure? And so on. This article is an endeavor to address to all such queries that you might have.
The truth about DevOps is that you do not need it to simply get rid of the poor team collaboration in your business. It is not confined to an industry in particular. And in order to implement agile technology to your software development, it is not necessary to implement DevOps to your business infrastructure. Also, it is true that implementation of DevOps results in improved collaboration between application development and operations teams which is a consequence of removing the challenges of this interaction to make the implementation smooth.
In order to ensure positive returns on the time and money invested in adopting DevOps for your organization, you should make sure of a few key things:
1) Ascertain your expectations out of the DevOps implementation for your organization
More than just a generic solution to the collaboration needs of your development and operation teams, DevOps implementation should serve to identify points in the software development life-cycle where the team collaboration can maximize value creation. This is the very reason why implementation of DevOps needs to be tailored to a particular organization’s needs and it is like ‘not one size can fit all’. For example: DevOps can be applicable in cases of a wide variety of requirements such as availing architectural guidance, interfacing between the applications and infrastructural operations, implementing change management and so on. So, before implementing DevOps to your organization, there should be a clear understanding of the business objectives to be achieved out of it.

DevOps Basics You Should Know Before Adopting Services

Before you consider   D evOps service   for your organization to embrace this new approach, it is critical for you to develop at least a basic understanding of what all it takes for the holistic implementation of devOps for your organization. Just like agile, the adoption of devOps also involves embracing a set of practices that result from an organizational attitude, philosophy and culture. This is the reason why adopting devOps can be a bit misleading since the organizations are likely to undertake a few of the devOps related activities according to their understanding of it, and thereby, start believing that they have implemented it successfully – regardless of whether these activities define devOps or not. By this, we mean to say that more than being just a set of activities, devOps is a cultural change that an organization needs to make, for embracing it wholeheartedly. So, exactly what all does the devOps culture comprise of? To get there, we need to understand what motivated

Poodle  is a breed of dog with legs that resembles cotton candies. It is intelligent and a regular staple at dog shows. Even the most friendly dogs have the propensity to bite.  Now we see all kinds of security alerts and snafus likes heartbleed and shell shock!!! The latest in addition is POODLE. All of this started when a team in Google developed and tested an attack named POODLE  (Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption) which uncovered vulnerability in  Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) version 3 protocol or in short SSLv3. SSLv3 is an obsolete but still used encryption in both older and new web browsers.  (It is an 18-year-old protocol which was replaced by the TLS protocol) POODLE tries to force the connection between your web browser and the server to downgrade  to SSLv3.  The POODLE attack takes advantage of the protocol version negotiation feature built into SSL/TLS to force the use of SSL 3.0 and then uses this new vulnerability to decrypt sele
